Digestibility Of Breadstuns.

DR.. Walzen Muller, the German physi-
ologist, remarks upon the common idea
that an admixture Of bran with -four
renders the latter much easier Of diges-
ton, and asserts that the smallest COM
minution of the grain, a. well as the
amount of husky portion retained in the
well known Graham -four, produces a
slight irritation of the digestive organs,
which results in the separation Of the
pepsin from the husk of the grain, adj
hitting Of its mixture with the gasti &c
fluids, thus greatly facilitating the pro-
cess Of assimilation; this mechanical irri-
tation, particularly in the case Of the
aged and weak. being otherwise product
BILE only by the use of alcoholic and SIM
liar stimulants.
DR.. Muller is Of the opinion that bread
should not be made without sailing, for
the reason that the starch of the -four
contains a large amount of the salt of
potash. which neutralizes much salt in
the system. Again, dry bread which has
been baked some little time is most
beautiful, rs the chewing process must
of necessity he thorough and the bread
consequently fully salivated previous to
its entrance into the stomach. He also
particularly urges the desirability of mix
ing the dough of bread with mill. Chi

the savages. Then, one morning just at
daylight, Grim Walker came into Fort
Mcpherson for his mules. He was going
TO move his iron cage to q new field. He
replenished his provisions and inside Of
two hours was of again, having spoken
less than fifty words during his stay. 1t
seemed as II he had grown taller, fiercer
more grim and ~revengeful. There was
something pitiful in knowing that he
alone had survived the massacre; some
thing appalling in the knowledge that he
had become q Nemesis whom nothing but
blood would satisfy.
The wagon was moved north to the
headwater of the Saline Fork. One who
has been over the route will wonder how
it could have been done. 1t was attacked
there one forenoon about 10 O'Clock by o
band of thirty warriors, who had been
raiding on the Solomon's river. The
mules were staked out, and Grim Walker
sat at his camp fire. The warriors
charged up on horseback, believing they
had o hunters or surveyors outfit, and
while they stampeded and secured the
mules, four of them were killed from the
loopholes of the cage. They anne back
again, and another was killed and
two were wounded. Then they dis
covered what sort Of an enemy
they had to deal with and with
drew. Grim Walker and his wagon re.
NAMED there for a month. When the
Indians would no longer come to him he
set out in search of them, and he became
a veritable terror. Twenty different war
riors whom I interviewed between 1864
and 1867 told me that Walker was more
feared than a hundred Indian fighters.
He killed everything he came to that was
Indian, including squaws, ponies, chill
dren, and dogs. No camp felt safe from
him. He had the ferocity of a hungry
tiger and the cunning of a serpent. He
used his iron wagon as a headquarters,
and made raids for fifty miles around.
During the summer our scouts saw
Walker or his wagon once a fortnight.
He was last seen alive on Sept. 2, on the
Republican river. when he had a fresh
Indian scalp at his belt. He had then
blown up his wagon with g~unpowder and
abandoned it, although he did not state
the fact. His hair and beard had be-
come long and unkempt, his clothing
wal in rags, and there could be no doubt
that he had gone mad. On the 18th of
the month, as l rode with IN escort Of
soldiers south Of where he was seen on
the I'd. and fifty miles from the spot, we
found him dead. He lay on a bare knoll.
on the broad Of his back, with his arms
folded over his breast and his rifle by his
side. His eyes were wide open, as II
looking at the buzzards sailing above
him, and we soon satisfied ourselves that
he had died from natural causes. He
had adozen scars and wounds. but disease
had overpowered him, or his work had
been done. He had exacted a full meas.
ure Of vengeance. Better for the Indian,
had they let his immigrant party pass on
in peace, for he had brought mourning
to a hundred lodges.-New York Sun.

The Tree of Death.

On the New Hope battlefield was Q
tree upon which the soldiers nailed the
inscription Tree Of Death" Several
Federals were killed behind the tree by
Confederate sharpshooters. The tree
was In advance Of the Federal line, and
wa about 800 yards from the Confed-
crate works. It wac used by Federal
skirmishers, who would stand behind it
and load and then step out and fire.
Confederate sharpshooters went along
the Confederate line for nearly a mile in
each direction, and then being 30 far
from the side Of the tree that they could
see behind il, by a cross firing made II
o. dangerous to stand behind the tree as
10 stand in front Of IL. Seven Federals
were killed behind the tree, and IL came
TO be known as the Tree Of Death. -

Care Of Horses Feet.

It is generally conceded by horsemen
that lameness originates chiefly in the
faulty treatment Of the horses foot.
This fact suggests several recommended
tons for the mitigation of the evil: First,
bare feet. II may be stated AZ a general
proposition that any horse with fairly
good feet need never be shod at all. In
the barefooted horse the heels spread ont,
the frogs descend, ridges form upon the
soles, giving to the bottom Of the feet q
good purchase upon either a rough o.
smooth surface. He soon learns to rely
upon himself and 80 adjusts his equilib.
rum TO motion that he neither strains
himself, nor slips nor stumbles. Horse
men have often given this plan a short,
faint-bearted trial, but on the frst mani.
festations of foot soreness at the end Of q
few weeks, and before the feet have be-
come Injured to the change, usually have
the shoes replaced again.-Spirit Of the

The vernaI Equinox.

On the 10th Of March, at 5 p. M, the sun
crosses the line and the astronomical spring
commences. We call the great time mark
the vernal equinox, for, as the words signI-
fy, day and night are equal and spring has
come. But the sun did not cross the ''line'
or equinoetial where it did last year. but fifty
and quarter seconds Of degree behind it.
This infnitesimal quantity of recession
which takes place every year constitutes
what is called the procession Of the equi-
noxes. Small as the quantity seems, since
astronomical records have been preserved
the recession amounts to 30o, or whole
sign. The retrograde movement Of the equi-
noxes gives to the stars an apparent preces-
sion. As the point where the sun crosses
the eduinoctial each year is the astronomical
starting point there must be constant in
crease in the longitude of the stars, whose
rlslngs and settings as recorded by the old
Latin poets by no means correspond with
the present observations. The cause Of this
strange motion has been discovered. 1t is
found that the poles of the earth have
"gyratory" motion around the poles of the
ecliptic, moving at so slow a pace that 1000
years are required to complete the cy-
the eeliptic, and bring the sun back
to the same starting point. During
this revolution, wherever in the celestial
sphere the earth's pole points, the nearest
star to that point will be the polar star. For
this reason 1900 years ago Caph was the
polar star, and 1900 hence the peerless
Vega will enjoy the celestial honor When
in the year 1887 this brilliant star shines
near that point in the sky to which the north
pole If extended would reach what will be
the character of the race which then peoples
the earth, how clear will be the light that
will make plain the wonders, now seen only
through glass darkly?

An Important Decision.

The decision Of the Law Court which has
just been announced in the case Of the City
Of Portland vs.. the Union Mutual Life In
suranee Company, gives the city judgment
against that company for s7,522.08 for taxes
assessed upon the eompany's property In the
years 1882 and 1888. The decision also controls
the assessment for 1884, which was made
after the suit was brought, and therefore
substantially gives the city judgment for
about S4500 for taxes assessed in 1884, with
interest thereon TO the present time, In ad-
dition to the amount Of the judgment above
stated. The result is substantial victory
for the city TO the amount Of about $4,000.
The suit was begun during the admlnistra-
tion of Mayor Libby. 1t was made up and
argued at the Law Term in 1886. Mayor
Chapman has always insisted upon the city's
whole claim in the matter and been opposed
to any proposition to compromise the suit;
greatly to the advantage Of the eity.as the re-
suit proves. Since these taxes were assessed
new law has been passed imposing a
State tax, In lieu Of local taxation, more
favorable to the company than the rule laid
down In this case, which would have re-
suited greatly to the city's advantage.
This suit had no reference whatever TO the
taxes on real estate which have
always been promptly paid, but onlS~eon-
eerned securities held by the company
which the company thought ought not to be
taxad
